Chapter 61 Bad news

But when they climbed over the mountain, what they encountered was a bad news.

"The official road to the capital was destroyed by the flood, and it is still being repaired. If you are planning to go to the capital to participate in this general election, you have to hurry up..."

Before the postman at the post station finished speaking, a middle-aged man came in behind him. Looking at the clothes, he seemed to be the postman here.Seeing his impatient face, he shouted at the postman, "What are you doing? You don't have ears? The stable at the back has told you so many times that you won't fix it. If it falls down and hits someone's horse, you will pay for it." Can you afford it?"

Although the postman accepted the bounty from Ouyang's family, but seeing the black face of the leader, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he left quickly.

Although a little unhappy, Ouyang Kang still politely stepped forward and took out another red envelope, "I'm sorry, sorry, I have caused you trouble, it's a small gesture, it's not a respect."

Yicheng took the money, but seeing Ouyang Kang in a plain blue shirt that was not gorgeous, he still looked like a creditor, "Don't be surprised, my lord, we have fewer people and more things here, and there is nothing we can do if we don't greet well. Especially recently There are a lot of people coming to Beijing, and there is a lot of chaos all day long, and there is no time to stop."

Ouyang Kang continued to smile apologetically, "Just now that elder brother talked about this general election..." This is the key point, so I have to ask.

Yi Cheng gave him another sideways glance, gloating a bit, "It's nothing, it's just that the Holy Majesty has set a date and said that the Kobe test will be held on July [-]th, and it's just seven days away from today. If you catch up, maybe you can still catch up."

What?Only seven days?Ouyang Kang panicked and didn't have time to worry about his attitude, so he hurriedly asked. "Isn't the official road blocked now? How do we get there?"

"The official road is blocked, so you can go the other way." The postman pointed out casually with a smile on his face, "Out of the post station, go north, pass Heilongkou, and then turn over Wuma Peak, all the way to the west is The capital is here. Go faster, and you can get there in five or six days."

Nianfu didn't like this person very much, so he stepped forward and asked, "Is the road over there safe? Are there any bandits?"

Yi Cheng sneered. "Little girl, do you read too many dramas? This Zhongzhou is under the rule of the emperor, how can you tolerate those people making trouble? But when it comes to peace, who can guarantee it? If you are unlucky, even a fallen leaf may hit you You, let alone go to the mountains and meet a few tigers and leopards. Is it possible? Anyway, I told you, you can go or not. As long as you can afford the money, you can wait until the official road is established. "

He walked away slowly with his hands behind his back, and the rest of them looked at each other in blank dismay.Do you want to go?Everyone was a little undecided.

In the end, Lan Gu gritted her teeth and made a decision, "We have to go! This is a major event related to the future of the young master. You have to try it anyway. Besides, since the official road is blocked, there must be many people. If you go there, it won’t be a big deal if you think about it.”

Mo Yun is a person who obeys orders in all actions, and his eyes are now on Nian Fu, only she is not a gentleman of Ouyang's family, so her consent must be obtained.

Unable to bear the embarrassment of reciting blessings, Ouyang Kang said, "Why don't I go first with Mo Yun. You wait at this post station, and follow up slowly when you meet the family members of officials later."

"No. Let's go together." Nianfu thought about it and agreed. Who told this master to be so reasonable?She was also embarrassed to lose the chain at a critical moment.

Now that you've decided to leave, it's not too late.While the sun was still bright, the group set off immediately.

Just watching them go far away, the postman who greeted them before sighed slightly. There is obviously another way, but why did the postman point out Wuma Peak?

Not far away, Yi Cheng was also watching the backs of Ouyang Kang and his party, but he had a sullen look on his face, "Hmph, isn't it because of having a good old man to be able to go to Beijing at such a young age? Speaking of which, I You are also from a family of officials, so why can you only guard such a small inn? Not even a low-ranking grade! Anyway, I am right about this road. If you are lucky, you can break through. If you Fate is not good, don't blame me for harming you. If you want to blame, blame the thief, God, why is it unfair to me!"

When the sun was sinking, Nianfu and his party passed through Heilongkou and entered Wuma Peak.

The Wuma Peak is a total of five peaks. If you want to go there, you have no other way but to climb up and down.five times.

Looking at the five big mountains soaring into the clouds, as high as thousands of feet, can Nianfu express that he can retreat before the battle?

Someone next to him sighed, "If there is a skilled craftsman cutting bamboo and wood into magpies, how about flying us there?"

How dare he think!Leaning over, Nianfu climbed onto the back of Zixiao's horse. In such a mountain, riding a car is not as good as riding a horse.

Uh... this time it's Ouyang's turn to stare blankly.

There was only one idle horse in Zixiao, and after Nianfu rode it, he had no choice but to take a car, but is it easy to take a car on such a steep mountain and such a high slope?

When encountering an uphill, you have to come down to reduce the burden on the horse, and when you encounter a downhill, you have to come down, and lead the horse to walk slowly to prevent the horse from slipping and falling.It's more like a cart than a ride.

In contrast, Nianfu is the most relaxed. She is small and light. Although the mountain road is steep, Zixiao has been carrying her steadily, climbing up and down, without any trouble.When you are free, the senior brother can also eat two wild fruits and two handfuls of grass to replenish energy on the side of the road, and wait leisurely for a group of people dragging a carriage behind.

A few times, Lan Gu was so distressed that she couldn't bear to watch, and wanted Nianfu to come down, so Ouyang Kang could go up and sit down.But how can such a thing be said?

The horse reads blessings, and Nianfu is not a servant of Ouyang's family, but a little girl, how can she be let by a young man?So Lan Gu had no choice but to wink at Nianfu frequently, hoping that she would take the initiative and be more generous.

It's a pity that Sister Mu is completely immune to this.On the contrary, I feel that the more difficult the time is, the more I should exercise the gentlemanly demeanor and masculinity of her young master.

Especially looking at that little white face, no matter how many months it has been sunburnt, it is really maddening!If you don't sweat a little and make the men a little bit, how can women in the world live?

It was night and they found no place to stay.What's worse is that, coming up this mountain road, I didn't meet any pedestrians at all, and I couldn't even find anyone I wanted to inquire about.

"How could it be so desolate?" Young Master Ouyang was a little suspicious. After an afternoon of mountain climbing, he was almost exhausted and paralyzed.His fair face, which could never be tanned, was covered with streaks of gray and streaks of sweat, making him look slovenly and haggard, with a touch of masculinity.But after being so tired, they couldn't even find a ruined temple and ancient house that often appeared in books. Could it be that the postman lied to them?

"No matter how desolate it is, it's impossible to go back now. It's getting dark, so we might as well just make do with the night here."

Seeing Nianfu pointing to a slightly open flat land on the side of the road, Ouyang Kang looked down on him, "What's so good here? Why don't you go to the stream below, I can already hear the sound of water."

Nianfu cast a contemptuous look, "It's summer now, and it might rain at any time in the mountains. If you live by the stream, what if the water floods in the middle of the night? But this place is neither high nor low, and there is no slope behind to worry about it. There are stones rolling down. I know you think your body is dirty and want to wash it, but who knows what else is there beside the water? Why don’t you just make do with it all night and let’s talk at dawn.”

Lan Gu had escaped in the past, and felt that there was some truth in the words of Nianfu. "When we were fleeing in the past, some people didn't know that they drank the water in the river at night and died of a sudden illness the next day. I only found out later that It's because there are dead people piled up in the upper reaches of the river, and the water is undrinkable. Anyway, we still have water in the car, which is enough for the night. Eldest young master, why don't you listen to Sister Mu and rest here."

Ouyang Kang made sense after thinking about it, so he stopped arguing and just rested where he was, burying the pot and cooking.

After more than two months of running around, Nianfu is already very good at cooking simple and quick meals.

She passed by a market a few days ago and happened to meet a butcher who sold it. She bought a large piece of pork belly and asked the chef to cut it into strips of about one catty. For half a day, at night, put it in a jar with sugar and soy sauce, Fenjiu, and tangerine peel to marinate. Take it out at dawn and hang it out to dry. When it is taken back in the evening, it will be marinated again with the same sauce, and then hung for two or three days to wait for the meat. When it dries, it becomes simple bacon.

Although the method of making this bacon is simple, the taste is not worse than that made by slow work.On the contrary, because it is marinated twice, the sauce is more fragrant, whether it is used to steam rice or stir-fry, it can enhance the taste.

Like tonight, boil the rice, and when you can see the rice in the pot form a small hole, put the cut bacon in it, add a few raw eggs, cover the lid and simmer over low heat.At the other end, put the washed green vegetables in boiling water, scald them, pick them up, mix them with oil and salt, and put them on a plate.Then go to shoot two cucumbers, kill the water with sugar, and then use a lot of minced garlic and vinegar to sterilize and season, so as to increase appetite and prevent intestinal diseases.

At this time, remove the pot of stewed rice from the fire without removing the cover, let it continue to simmer, and wait for the cucumber to taste. After a quarter of an hour, uncover the pot, and you will see the aroma of bacon fully stimulated by the rice Intertwined with rice fragrance, it is very attractive.Especially by the light of the fire, you can also see the poached eggs cooked by rice, the tender egg whites reveal a golden color, and each person adds a bowl of rice with golden rice crackers, and then puts a chopstick of green vegetables, which is extremely eye-catching and delicious. A refreshing and delicious hearty dinner.

Holding the meal, Mo Yun sighed.

Ouyang Kang frowned, "Alright, why are you sighing?"

Mo Yun replied honestly, "I'm used to the food cooked by Sister Mu, how can I eat food made by others in the future?"

Ouyang Kangqi said, "It's fine if you don't say you have food in the past, why can't you do it now?"

Mo Yun wondered, "That's something I've never tasted so delicious before, but I'm used to it now, how do I change it in the future?"

Nianfu couldn't help laughing, "That's great, if I want you to help fight in the future, I just need to make a delicious meal, right?"

Mo Yun suddenly turned his head to look at Ouyang Kang, and then told Nianfu very seriously, "As long as you don't hit our young master, you can call me outsiders."

Chanting Fule is beyond support.

But Young Master Ouyang didn't know what he was thinking of. He glanced at Nianfu again, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, showing a bit of a weird look. (To be continued.
